Detection of a Supervirial Hot Component in the Milky Way Circumgalactic Medium Along Multiple Sight Lines by Using the Stacking Technique
The study of the elusive hot component ( T ≳ 10 ^7 K) of the Milky Way circumgalactic medium (CGM) is a novel topic for understanding Galactic formation and evolution. In this work, we use the stacking technique through 46 lines of sight with Chandra ACIS-S HETG totaling over 10 Ms of exposure time...
